Additional Information for Breeches
Breeches are a type of clothing that cover the lower body, typically from the waist to just below the knee. They are often made of a sturdy fabric such as wool or canvas and are designed to be worn by both men and women. Breeches were commonly worn in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, and were a popular choice for horseback riding, hunting, and other outdoor activities. They are characterized by their snug fit around the waist and hips, and their loose, wide legs that end just below the knee. Breeches can be fastened with buttons, hooks, or laces, and are often worn with stockings or socks.
